What has the US offered it?

Chaos. Profit taking. Sponsoring terrorists. Defending the child sex trade. Killing endless civilians.

Heck the US is directly responsible for the poppy fields... Which is a bit of history few Americans know...

On top of all of that, the entire country knows we're not really going to protect them from the Taliban. So standing up to them, for the average person, is a death sentence.
